For all of those who thought that Cheryl had disappeared off the scene… You were sadly mistaken! Chezza was spotted over the weekend on set of the new feature film she has a cameo role in, ‘What To Expect, When You’re Expecting’. After a less than graceful exit from the American X-factor earlier this year Cheryl has been keeping a low profile! But it has to be said she looked bloomin good in a lace detail dress and Pigalle Louboutins!!! Ooh La La

Cheryl has a small role in the film alongside heavyweight Cameron Diaz, who was also seen on the set sporting luscious curly locks!!!

She wrote today: ‘It’s me CC! WHERE MY SOLDIERS AT…….?!!! I can’t believe what my fingers are doing but yes I’m tweeting :-s so here goes…X.’

Congrats Queen B!!! So we all know she has conquered the world of pop and she has always been very open about her desire to start a family with hubby Jay -Z, who she hooked up with ten years ago, so it comes as no surprise that Beyonce revealed her baby bump at the weekend whilst on stage at the VMA’s **!! About time guys!!** She sang ‘Love on Top’ and winked at the audience when she belted the lyrics “I want you to feel the love that grows inside of me” aaaawwww sweet!

‘When you’re young – 18 or 19 – you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can,’ she told the September issue of In Style, she also said ‘Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.’ At the end of the performance for which she ditched her sequin hot-pants for a Dolce & Gabbana tuxe jacket and flared trousers, she popped open her jacket in a Ta Da moment that the crowd went crazy for!!!

Jay-Z beamed from the audience while Kanye patted his friend on the back in congratulations!!!

She looked positively glowing..(when doesn’t she??!!) as she posed for the camera’s after the ceremony, in a beautiful orange floor length Lanvin gown!!

We honestly cannot wait to see what yummy mummy looks unfold over the coming months… Congrats again Queen B!!!

Hope you’re all having a glorious bank holiday weekend… Mine has definitely been eventful!!! Anyhoo’s as we all know most city slickers escape to the country over the bank holiday weekend, and for the lucky few a European weekend break may even be on the cards!!! Sooo if you’re saving your summer getaway for a little later this year then I’ve found the perfect little getaway, that’s also perfect if you’re planning on hitting all of the Ibiza closing parties!!!

**Drumroll please***

The hotel was recently featured in Vogue.. so if you’re really lucky, you might bump into one or two of the fash pack!!!

Hotel Atzaro Hotel looks like the perfect way to wrap up your summer 🙂

I have recently become engrossed with (I know I’m late) Mad Men and I must say I’m in Love with the chic feminine 50’s/60’s costume on set!!! And Whilst Banana Republic revealed that they will be launching a Mad Men inspired line earlier this month, Zara have also revealed their A/W 2011 line that resembles the clean cut feel and straight lines of the Mad Men era but with a contemporary twist… Without further ado… I present My Weekend Hotpicks!!!

The crisp white colour for autumn is just gorgeous!!!

Wide leg trousers are still a BIG look for next season 🙂

You can find allllll of these lovely pieces at Zara.com from September!!!

Also fitting into the trend are these Culottes from Reiss and they are perfect for the winter months!!! Get yours at ClosetBox!!!

For any seasoned fashion veteran, you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about when I mention the creative genius that is PAM HOGG… from film directing, to forming the coolest punk bands she is the superwoman of everything cool! Since 2008 she is firmly back to her forte, that is of course fashion design!!! After a brief hiatus from the fashion world to pursue other creative ventures Hogg made a return to London fashion week, BUT word in the fashion world is that Hogg plans to show in Paris Fashion week instead of London!!!

Hogg recently said that “It’s disappointing not to be part of London Fashion Week this season, but I’ve been offered a show in Paris by On/Off who – since my return to fashion three years ago – have been giving me amazing support – allowing me to present my collection each season with the aim of helping me build a successful business in fashion again,” told Vogue UK that. “Hopefully one day I’ll be recognised and supported by the British Fashion Council, and will come back to London. But for now – viva la France!”

**SAD FACE**

Hogg presenting at one of her latest shows, you can view more of the collection at Pam Hogg.com!!!

Since her re-launch into the fashion world everyone who is anyone has been seen in her pieces. Pam Hogg’s collections have since been worn by an entire new generation of celebrities including Lady Gaga, Jessie J, Kelly Rowland, Alice Dellal, Rihanna, Lilly Allen,Peaches Geldof, Naomi Cambell, Claudia Schiffer, Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss…. to name a few!

When I think of Vera Moda, I don’t exactly think market leaders in edgy, Alexa Chung’esque fashion… Alexa who has just finished a campaign for Madewell looked absolutely darling when fronting the campaign! But news has broken in the fashion world that Alexa will be fronting the Vera Moda campaign **scratches head** Errm yes you heard correctly I said Vera Moda!!! 🙂

Above is Alexa doing her thing for Madewell, whom she also designed for, although there has been no mention of her designing for the upcoming campaign with Vera Moda!!! Now for the actual Vera Moda collection… somehow I can’t see Alexa in any of the following !!

Their Autumn range is also now available at Vera Moda.com, Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the brand asserts, ‘Alexa is the perfect choice for Vero Moda. We feel certain that the collaboration will take Vero Moda to a higher level and provide our brand with an added value.’ We’ll believe it when we see it 😉

Although it must be said that the collection looks way more delicious when featured on ASOS!!!!
